Owned by Facebook, Whatsapp is one of the most used messaging apps in the world. It is a social media platform used by many individuals. Let it be businesses, executives, or common people, Whatsapp has spread its uses all over the globe. Having said that, due to its popularity, Whatsapp tends to bring improvement in its system after a short period, forming up a new edition.
In our article today, we will be discussing certain tips and tricks associated with Whatsapp that can enhance users’ experience.
Media Visibility Option
There is an option in Whatsapp which gives you the control whether you wish to see the newly downloaded media content which you get from the chat in your gallery or not. Most people do not know about this option and therefore they download the images, videos, and even audios in chats, which as a result consumes memory space in their phone. Media visibility option will give you three choices, Yes by default, Yes or no. Yes means the downloaded item will be saved in your gallery and No means you can view the media in chat but not in the gallery.
Fingerprint Lock Option
As most of the smartphones, today have a fingerprint sensor. You can utilize that to make your Whatsapp more secure. Just go to the privacy of your WhatsApp, at the bottom there would be a fingerprint lock. Enable it and you are good to go. It is secure but, there is no way you can get access to your Whatsapp in case you are unable to unlock it through your fingerprint.
Read the messages without the sender knowing
When we read a Whatsapp message, the sender is informed about it by looking at the blue ticks. However, if you want to read the messages and don’t want to show blue ticks, you can simply go to privacy and uncheck the read receipts box. But remember, by doing this, you would also be unable to know whether the receiver has seen the messages or not. The alternative ways are using the notification and Airplane method.
Read The Deleted Messages
